Ranger Hole - Interrorem Nature Trail — Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2021

I wanted to do a quick hike before work, so I hit up a short trail that popped out on my Olympic Mountains East Map. I chose it mainly for its length (.7 Miles) and rather odd name (Ranger Hole).
My expectations were pretty mild, as I'd never heard anything about this trail. I reached trailhead at 10am, and was the only car in the lot. The trail is in good shape considering all the rain we've had, it's only slightly muddy.  Once I made it to the main viewpoint of the River, I was able to do a bit of scrambling through the trees to make it down to the beach just downstream of the Ranger Hole. The Ranger Hole is a large pool right after a small canyon that the River is forced to flow through. The color of the water here is an incredible shade of aquamarine.
This is a great hike for those who want to enjoy nature without putting in heavy miles, or for those with kids. Do be careful if you go out to the end of the trail next to the canyon, as the rocks are slippery and you could easily fall into the canyon rapids.
It would also be a great place to go swimming in the Summer, though I'm sure it gets crowded once the weather warms up.
10 out of 10, would recommend!
